Jacob Lipchitz, (born August 10, 1891, died May 26, 1973), was a Russian-born French sculptor whose style was based on the principles of Cubism; he was a pioneer of nonrepresentational sculpture. After a brief term of service (1912 - 13) in the imperial Russian army, Lipchitz returned to Paris. There the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera introduced him to Pablo Picasso, the painter who (with Georges Braque) had created the Cubist style about 1907. Lipchitz soon began to translate the pictorial experiments of Cubist painters into three-dimensional sculpture, as in Man with Guitar (1916). Lipchitz worked exclusively in solid blocks of material or in low-relief still life's to simulate the polychromatic prisms of Cubist paintings. By 1941, when he moved to New York City, Lipchitz had established an international reputation.
